Natural disasters will not go away, and it's often the world's most vulnerable communities most at risk for suffering in calamities. That's why Church World Service works to help reduce the risks vulnerable communities face. Donna Derr, director of development and humanitarian assistance for CWS, tells an audience at the Brookings Institution that the best defense is to develop plans that will help make us
more risk averse.

Donna Derr, Church World Services: Natural disasters will continue to
strike, so our best defense is to develop plans that will help make us
more risk averse. Unless we do, we're going to see greater loss of life
and infrastructure.

CWS works with partners to eradicate hunger and poverty and to promote peace and justice around the world.
